Anything Is Possible
Of all things I have learned about the world it is this,
Anything is possible.
And nothing has yet shaken that belief
Of course just knowing it has been enough to both delight me and
Give me nightmares.
Yet they both these feelings pale into insignificance compared to my
Daily frustration at seeing and hearing people who say so many things are Impossible to them.
It is hard not to weep when all I hear is
You can't win or we will never get rid of it or nothing will change.
But that is not the worst,
No the worst is hearing someone who is in charge of fixing a problem
Telling us that it can't be done,
Not the least because, given this defeatist attitude,
It is unlikely that they will pull out all the stops or encourage others
To support them in trying to fix the issue.
Yet despite all of my fluctuating feelings I still cling to my belief that anything is Possible when I have friends still left who thumb their noses at those running the show
And keep on making the impossible possible,
Making my worst nightmares a little less possible.
